I've been having a frustrating issue where my computer blue screens and restarts every time I try to play games, like Baldur's Gate 3 and Marvel Rivals. This problem started about a month ago. Here are my specs: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070, Intel Core i7-11700F Processor, 16 gigabytes of RAM, and I'm running on Windows 11. What can I do to fix this?

Have you checked for any dump files on your PC? They can give us more insight into the crash. If you can boot into Windows, look in C:WindowsMinidump for the files, zip them up, and upload them to a file-sharing site like catbox.moe or mediafire.
First off, can you find the stop code when you get the blue screen? That'll help us figure out what's going on. Also, make sure all your drivers are updated from the manufacturer's website—it's a good starting point.
It might be an overheating issue. When your PC restarts, does it show anything on the BIOS screen? Keeping an eye on your temperatures while gaming could be useful. What do you usually see on your temp monitor?
I had a similar issue and it turned out to be dust buildup causing overheating. Are your fans clean? Also, are your drivers current? Checking those can often resolve these crashing issues.
